LONDON—Heptagon Capital LLP, an asset manager in London with $9 billion under management, has started an actively managed fund to give Europeans access to Chinese stocks traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges.

The launch comes as China introduces measures to make its domestic stock market, which has been largely off limits to foreigners in the past, more accessible.
